Episode 158: Lance Ford

Lance and I have a great conversation around themes and topics from his book the Atlas Factor. We talk about the state of leadership in the church and how the term leadership is a relatively new concept. We dive into the fact that Jesus is the head of the church – not any human leader. We are all part of the body and the genius of the head – Jesus – flows into the body. We talk about organizing for equipping and resourcing, the humility and servantship of Paul, how God’s power shows up in our weakness and the wisdom of older people of the faith. So join us as we rightly put Jesus back where he belongs – at the head.
